Narrative:

I was the pilot in command as well as the flight instructor. The student was receiving proficiency and re-currency training. An FAA asi examined our pilot and medical certificates; and the aircraft airworthiness and registration certificates. Weather conditions for takeoff were as follows; daylight VFR with unrestricted visibility and no cloud ceiling; wind from 220 at 13 KTS; temperature was 30 celsius plus. The actual takeoff weight was 10;100 pounds. The computed required takeoff field length (zero wind) was 2;930 ft. The actual runway length is 4;000 ft. During the preflight briefing with my student; we discussed multiple aborted takeoff scenarios (although none specifically addressed the possibility of bird strikes) due to the relatively short runway here. The aircraft contacted multiple large birds approximately 5 KTS prior to the calculated V1 speed of 91 KTS. The takeoff was successfully aborted and the aircraft exited the runway safely at taxiway echo. The left engine was shutdown after runway exit due to a lack of itt indication. The FAA control tower was notified after the aircraft had exited the runway. On our advice; the runway was closed for a short period by ATC for inspection. Multiple large birds we found on the runway in various states of demise. Post flight inspection (by the crew) revealed severe damage to the left engine. The right engine and right engine pylon area had bird debris preset. The right inboard wing leading edge has multiple small dents.
